OK, finally finished. Not perfect like I wanted and a few little things to attend to, but it came out good.
Theres not much else I want to do to it, its pretty well done.

thanks guys.
I'm pretty happy with it, it's a good ride height, the wheels fill the arches and it looks like an original car.
Now I just need to find the compliance plate from where I hid it so I can register it and drive it this summer...

Nice work smcka. I don't usually like red escys but that looks awesome with the XL trims and those wheels. Love the badge too!

The boot lock is one of those 'little things'. The lock is fitted, but the cylinder not. I think the boot has different keys to the door/ignition so I just use a finger to open it.

PJ them weeds are the bane of my life. Worse than Mk2 Escort drivers...

Jet, I bought the hood lining off a seller on ebay - cant remember the name but its not the 'problem' trim seller thats been posted about here.

Its actually a Falcon lining, but I am assured that is correct for an early '72. Couple of comments the installer made:

* It was cut too short at the rear and he had to modify it to fit. Took a bit of stretching to do it.
* The front sides were cut wrong, and they bow down too much (The sunvisors don't sit flush against the roof now)
* The distances between the bows was just a tad out, and it made a lot of hassles for him.

After paying $190 to get it cut and shipped, then the intaller $200 to fit, turns out he cuts and fits them on site for $350[8~2]

But he's only in Sydney so no good for you
